ADMISSION POLICY
The general purpose of this policy is to set forth the standards for admission to Flagler College. Flagler serves a predominately full-time student body and seeks to enroll students who can benefit from the type of educational experience the College offers.
Because of the College’s unique mission and its distinctive characteristics, some students may benefit more from an educational experience at Flagler than others may. It is desirable, therefore, that the College follow admission standards and procedures designed to select from among the applicants those students most likely to succeed academically, to contribute significantly to the student life program a Flagler, and to become graduates of the College.
Flagler College fully complies with Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972; Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. The College is an equal opportunity institution that does not discriminate based on race, color, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability, marital status, familial status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other protected characteristic, in its admission, treatment, access to, or employment in, its programs or activities.
The College evaluates applicants individually, and determines admission on academic preparation, scholastic aptitude, and personal qualities.
Primary consideration consists of the applicant’s previous academic record, including the quality of course selection, grades, consistency of academic performance, and standardized test scores (if submitted). Other factors taken into consideration may include the student’s motivation, initiative, maturity, seriousness of purpose, intended field of study, and leadership potential.
ADMISSION PROCEDURES
A student may submit an application beginning August 1 after the completion of their junior year in high school. However, the College recommends students wait until the fall of their senior year before submitting an application. First year or transfer students, who are full-time and degree-seeking, may apply for admission to the fall or spring terms.
FIRST YEAR APPLICANTS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING:
- Completed online application, including personal essay
- Application fee of $50 (non-refundable) or fee waiver
- Official High School Transcripts
- Academic recommendation letter (Secondary School Report)
- Official test scores from either the SAT or the ACT (optional)*
*Under our test-optional policy, first-year students may submit test scores if they feel the results accurately reflect their personal academic ability but are not required to do so if their scores do not align with their demonstrated academic strength in the classroom. First year students have the opportunity to select test-optional admissions review within the Flagler application or through the Common Application member screen. If a student applies for the test-optional review, and we already have scores on file for that student, we will be sure to delete the scores from our system to honor their request.
Please note that homeschooled students cannot select the test-optional path.
Exceptions to the aforementioned requirements will be determined on a case-by-case basis.
If you feel as though you meet our expectations as a driven student with personal integrity, but know your scores do not adequately reflect your abilities, you may opt out of this section of the application.
If, on the other hand, you think your standardized test results accurately reflect your potential, you may submit SAT and/or ACT scores using the following school codes:

ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRST YEAR STUDENTS
For first year applicants, the high school record is the most important factor in determining admission to the College.

First year applicants must complete a minimum of 16 units in grades 9 through 12. While a prescribed course of study is not required, prospective students are advised to take four years of English, four years of mathematics (to include Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry), three years of science (one laboratory science), and four years of social studies and academic electives. The College will review official school academic transcripts taking into consideration a college-preparatory schedule. Applicants should realize that the aforementioned courses represent the minimum preparation, and but not necessarily considered satisfactory or recommended preparation for college-level work in every undergraduate area of study.
* The College welcomes test results from students who believe scores will add significant value to their application but does not require applicants to submit SAT and/or ACT scores. Regardless, each applicant will undergo a holistic evaluation based on academic merit (coursework), extracurricular involvement, personal values, talent, and character.
Candidates who wish to submit official score reports may do so electronically using the following codes: SAT 5235; ACT 0772.
The Academic Recommendation Letter (Secondary School Report) plays a significant role in the admission process. The report should be both an academic and personal evaluation of the applicant. However, it may be a compilation of observations by one of the student’s high school teachers and/or guidance/college counselor attesting to the applicant’s abilities and character.
The application moves to the Dean of Admissions for a final decision after the Office of Admissions receives and evaluates all items pertinent to the application.
In some instances, the Admissions Team may request additional information to supplement a student’s application. As such, the evaluation will not be completed until the new criteria is met.

TRANSFER OF CREDITS
Applicants transferring from another institution must be in good standing and must be eligible to return to the institution last attended. Transfer applicants from four-year institutions may receive a maximum of 75 semester hours of credit awarded. Generally, recipients of the Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree gain admission at the junior level. Applicants transferring from two-year institutions will receive no more than 64 semester hours of credit toward the completion of degree requirements at Flagler.
Generally, students receive transfer credits for courses in which they earned a letter grade of “C” (2.0 on a 4.0 scale) or better from regionally accredited institutions. Grades, however, are nontransferable. As such, the Registrar will not consider quality points earned for transfer credits when computing a student’s Flagler grade point average. Students who have successfully completed the requirements for an A.A. degree may transfer up to three courses in which they earned a “D” grade, provided the total number of transfer credits does not exceed 64 semester hours.
In accordance with the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF) Articulation Agreement, Flagler College, as a member of ICUF, provides some basic guarantees to transfer students who have earned an A.A. degree from any member institution of the State of Florida public university system. This guarantee includes the transfer of 60 credits applicable toward the awarding of the baccalaureate degree and completion of the general education requirements at Flagler College.
The Registrar will determine the amount of transfer credit and advanced standing allowed by the College. In some instances, however, the Registrar may consult with Academic Affairs representatives prior to awarding transfer credits. Transfer students are responsible for submitting all official transcripts, CAPE, CLEP, IB, AICE, and/or AP score reports. Additionally, they must confirm their level of advanced standing prior to registering for classes at Flagler.
CORE TRANSFER, DUAL-ENROLLMENT, AND TEST CREDITS
Various Core Literacies may be satisfied/waived through transfer or test credits. As part of the Admissions or Transfer process, the Registrar will make an evaluation of all transfer and test-in credit to be awarded, and will also review the student’s transcript to determine if Core Literacies are waived. A maximum of five literacies may be waived in this manner; no waivers will be given for Academic Writing, or FlagSHIP.
Most first-year students are required to take FYS 152 First Year Seminar on Citizenship and Liberal Education in their first semester. Transfer students are not required to take FYS. First-year students who come to Flagler with 30+ credit hours are required to take FYS 140, an abbreviated FYS. First-year students who come to Flagler with an AA are not required to take FYS 140,but are encouraged to do so.
Students take FlagSHIP in in the JanTerm or Maymester portions of their second year at Flagler College. FlagSHIP is a requirement for all students unless they enter with 60 or more earned credits; OR is exempted, based on past work, from General Education requirements at Flagler (see next section); OR a waiver is granted by the Registrar.
- Example: a first-year student comes to Flagler in the Fall of 2024 with 6 credit hours of dual-enrollment and test credit. This student takes FYS 152 in the Fall of 2024 and FlagSHIP in the Spring of 2026.
- Example: a first-year student comes to Flagler in the Spring of 2025 in with 36 credit hours of dual-enrollment and test credit. This student takes FYS 140 in the Spring of 2025 and FlagSHIP in the Spring of 2026.
- Example: a transfer student comes to Flagler in the Fall of 2024 with 21 credit hours of transfer and test credit. This student does not take FYS but does take FlagSHIP in the Spring of 2026.

DISABILITY RESOURCE CENTER
The Disability Resource Center provides information and assistance to students who have qualifying disabilities and are in need of reasonable accommodations to ensure equal access to education as intended by Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Services are varied depending on individual needs and include counseling and referrals, classroom accommodations, test accommodations, special registration, the services of a scribe, note-taker, interpreter, reader, and the use of specialized equipment and adaptive technology.
Any student wishing to receive services/accommodations at Flagler College must first register with the Disability Resource Center. Specific documentation of a disability, from a qualified professional, is required. To ensure timely services, requests for accommodations should be made prior to the beginning of each semester; however a student may initiate the registration process at any time.
All students with disabilities are strongly encouraged to contact the DRC as soon as possible after acceptance to make arrangements for academic accommodations.
It is the student’s responsibility to inform the Disability Resource Center about his or her disability and to provide documentation by a qualified professional that validates the student’s eligibility for academic accommodations. Contact DRC for specific documentation requirements.
The provision of reasonable accommodations and services will be based upon an assessment of the impact of the student’s disabilities on his or her academic performance. Therefore, it is in the student’s best interest to provide recent and appropriate documentation relevant to the learning environment. If data provided is insufficient or outdated, the College reserves the right to request additional and/or updated information.
Once appropriate documentation of the disability has been received in the Disability Resource Center and the student has signed a release which permits notification of the disability, the Director of the Disability Resource Center will assist the student in procuring the services of qualified interpreters, note-takers, and readers, if needed. The Director may also assist in providing the student with accessible texts and modified examination procedures. Personal aids, such as prescription eyeglasses, hearing aids and tape recorders, will not be furnished by the College. Please contact The Disability Resource Center with any or questions or concerns at (904) 819-6460 or PPownall@flagler.edu.
